Juan Monroy Leave a comment

Queens College students, are you looking for an additional class?

Media Studies 265: Producing Independent Movies is about to be cancelled. It meets on Wednesdays from 1:40 – 4:20. It a class about how movies, TV and all of filmed entertainment is actually made.

Liz Foley, the instructor, offers the following pitch:

The class is a lot of fun and a provides hands on knowledge of how things get done in the business, including business planning, casting, putting together a team and much more. I love teaching it and I’d really like to save it. If three people register today or tomorrow, I can probably stave off it’s execution.

Sign up today.

In today’s class, I announced that the final exam is now a take home. Here’s how it will go down:

At our last class on December 9, I will distribute the final exam questions. The questions will consist of identification and short essay questions. The questions will be based on the material we’ve covered during the entire course with an emphasis on the material we covered in the second-half of the course, corresponding to the American film industry after the advent of television.

Take the exam home and answer all of the questions, as directed on the exam.

Email your responses in a PDF document to juan.monroy@qc.cuny.edu by Tuesday, December 17, 8:00 PM. Late exams will be subject to 10% penalty each day it is late.

You should receive your final grade within three days.
